Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
85 of 117 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.5.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 5 hundred(s), best of 112.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 73 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 45 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 147 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- 3,699 runs in 144 innings, adjusted average 30.5, strike rate 67.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 48 wickets from 276.3 overs across 55 matches bowled in (of 147 played) — 0.33 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
